Is it okay for women with HIV/AIDS to be artificially inseminated

Is it okay for women with HIV/AIDS to be artificially inseminated?
I know someone who did and sees no wrong in it. Should this be allowed or should there be a law passed to prevent this disease from possibly spreading?

I dunno, could they still pass the disease on to the embryo?

Good luck finding a doctor that would let you do this, or a sperm bank.

I don't know but if it were me i would not want to for fear that I would pass it onto the child or I would not be around to mother the child.

There are laws against spreading HIV/AIDS. However doctors have been able to inseminate a very few women without affecting the fetus. Now I can't tell you don't how this works, but I think it is better than this woman having sex with someone to have a child. You have to remember that this has only be accomplished in very few cases, the doctor has to deal with the laws about HIV/AIDS.as well.

Is not ok, because this disease would eventually kill the baby. So what is the point of having a child who is going suffer from day one after they are born by having this deathly disease. No law would ever passed because doctors would not allowed a woman who has AIDS to be artificially inseminate. The person that you know who did it, was probably from another country because doctors in the United States would not artificially inseminate patients with AIDS.

It is fine!!! They can give medication the the mother that helps prevent the fetus from getting the disease. And you have to remember one thing. A mother's blood and the blood of the fetus NEVER CROSS! EVER! They each have their own blood supplies. And when the baby is ready to be born they can do a c-section. That also helps cut down on exposure to the baby.

Of course it's wrong, you're intentionally infecting your own child....you know, the idea that every person on the planet should get to have as many babies as they want is what started plagues like HIV/AIDS in the 1st place, it's a natural control placed on overpopulation. If you can't get pregnant/get your wife pregnant, I'm sorry, but TOUGH!

krunic 05 is right....they can give pregnant moms whom are HIV positive medications while they are pregnant to try to prevent to baby from becoming infected...and it has a high % rate of working... any woman or man has no idea what is in store for them in their life time...you could die at 30 of cancer or live until you are 99 and die of old age...non of us knows...so we are all taking a risk when we decide to have children and create families so no one can really say if there is a right or a wrong to this senereo.... best of luck
